2010 Nissan Micra 1.2L Petrol · HW10 KUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 07 August 2025 at 97,154 miles shows a pass following a minor failure for a blown light bulb and discoloured indicators. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where the car failed on multiple consumable-related items and minor mechanical wear, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they are officially flagged by the MOT tester. At 97,154 miles over 16 years, the Micra averages approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use. The mileage data shows a steady interval between tests, specifically between August 2023 and July 2024 when the vehicle covered nearly 6,800 miles in a single year. While the low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation and corrosion, which is evidenced by the recurring suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and braking system closely during a physical evaluation. The 2024 test flagged pitted front brake discs and play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, which are common signs of components reaching the end of their service life. Given the previous failure for sidewall damage and low tyre tread depth, the current state of the tyres must be verified for structural damage or uneven wear. The buyer should also check the chassis for surface rust around the sills and wheel arches, as the record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the standard checks for this age.
